Cate's Diary

One day feeling back on track & already I feel heaps better!
Emily- I lost 36kg between Jan- July 2007. I followed a very strict, calorie-controlled diet. It was medically supervised, but very strict. I currently am 10kg above that weight, but wish to lose only 6 of that. I felt I looked too thin at the weight I got down to. Now, this weight is more than the charts say I should be, but I know what I am happiest at.
Thanks, LJ & Sunflower. I hope so! This 6kg has to go, though. I am sick of going up & down, up & down. I suppose most people do, but it does get a little scary I must admit. I am going to try to have a "fast" day tomorrow (<500 cals). I know that will work to quickly drop some. I managed to do them for almost a year, without too much trouble, but am finding them so difficult these days.
Tracking my food yesterday was really difficult, but I did it. I consumed 2015 cals & used 1645 from exercise, so had a deficit of 930.
Golf- I won the pre-season cup. It was played over 5 weeks & the winner was the best 3 net scores added up. I won by 6 shots from the person who came second & 10 from the 3rd. I didn't play as well as last week, but was happy & enjoyed the day. I am getting on really well with the women.
I went out with G to 8-ball & his team won 8-7. We played the Number 1 team. The games were good.

Breakfast this morning-
Fresh cherries, blueberries & a kiwi fruit with some natural yoghurt, 1 slice of cheese & 1 Dolmade, black coffee, no sugar, 303 cals.
Weight- same, same(6kg to lose)
 
Wow, well done on winning the cup. You go champ! Did you get a good prize?

36kg in 7 months? Unreal. I mean, when you read that, it is theoretically quite easy to lose weight. It's just sticking to the plan that is the issue, isn't it?
 
It is indeed. It's the wanting something more than you want something else. It was 28 weeks Emily. I was SO focussed & SO determined. I have this very stubborn streak in me. It can be good, it can be bad.
I have just played another 9 holes, with G & a young champ. I played well again. I am loving it!
I don't know what the prize is & I don't much care, to be honest Em, but I'm glad I played consistently well to win it.
 
Congratulations on winning! Glad to hear you´re getting along well with the women, that´s one less thing to be stressed about (and stress makes hungry :p )
 
Thanks, LaMa. I feel a whole lot less stressed. Mind you, I just got a call from B, who sounds like a crazy lady on speed. Phew. I'm glad I'm not her! I am not taking on her stress ever again. Serious lesson learned.
LJ- It was a double winner. It's great that G feels able to play golf again. He just needed to regain some self-confidence.
I must admit that phone call from B exhausted me! That woman is on the road to a heart attack. *sigh*

I think I will have a chill out day today. I think we are having the GK's for the night & I am going to the market tomorrow, while G plays golf with the men. We have been together every day all day since early December & it will feel good to do our own thing for the day.
I am fasting at the moment & my stomach is making a ridiculous amount of noise. I am going to have a crack at doing 5:2 for Feb, but am not sure if I can or really want to. I'll do today & see how I go.
 
Maybe you could make your fast days the ones where you do relaxation exercises, go for gentle walks and don´t pick up the phone unless you feel like it?
 
I like the idea of 5:2 but think I'd find it too hard.. hope having the GK is fun - nice to have quality time (and some time separate from G!) I think I'd murder Yank dead if we spent all day every day together..
 
It sounds like a good plan LaMa. I think they are too hard. Great in theory, tough in practice!
Fast day fail. I ended up with 883 cals. I'm going to stick with logging, aim to move more etc.
I'm spending the day with the GK's tomorrow too. I'll take them to the market.
 
I had a good day with the kids. It wasn't too tiring. G got around his 18 holes of golf fairly well too, which was excellent. He has to stop helping out the new captains as they are resentful & are being nasty to him. He is going to tell one of them what he thinks about the way he is being treated. I hope he does.
I am getting used to logging everything & I am going to weigh every day. The Feb plan is to lose the 2kg I put on over January & lose another half, then half a kilo per month until I get down to my GW. I have MFP synced with my fitbit. Speaking of which, I must actually put my FB on!
I'm trying to fix our club website at the moment & it is causing me some problems. The person who registered our domain name is no longer at the club & it has expired. It is not easy trying to get it all fixed but I must.
Time to waste some time on FB......
 
Thanks, LaMa & Sunflower :D
I am attempting another FD today, but this time I have a soup boiling away in readiness for the hunger pangs. It has some vegetable stock, carrot, kale, onion, mushroom, snow peas, celery & a stock cube (Massel). I should steer clear of stock cubes as they are way too high in sodium. I just looked that one up- eek! Too late now. It's in my soup already. Whoops. Which reminds me- it's still on! Rescued...
I have been a bit lazy the last few days. It's time I came up with a proper exercise plan!

Cate i use low sodium liquid stock. It might be an option over the salty boulion style cubes.
